Jones

Todd Jones made it a little too close for comfort tonight.

The Tigers won the game, but the Royals scored twice in the ninth inning off the Tigers' closer.

This is his second "rough" outing. I'm not going to question Jim Leyland's decision-making; but two days in a row his starters have dazzled and deserved the opportunity to go for the shutout. Again, I wouldn't question him; I'm not sitting the dugout. He's the boss and I totally respect him. I'm just glad the Tigers held on to win.

At this point in the season, a win is a win and we need Kenny Rogers and Jeremy Bonderman fresh at the end of the season -- and a win is a win, whether by shutout or whatever.

Go Tigers!

Go Mr. Leyland.

Hey, Mr. Jones ... let's go, man!
